Chapter 436: Preparations at the Rear

At the same time, in order to facilitate the dispatch of all parties, Zhou Xu temporarily returned to Black Moon Village, which was the base camp, to take command.

In contrast, a meeting hall was also built in Black Moon Village, and its scale was even larger than that of Grassland Village.

Sitting on the throne, the morning court meeting was taking place.

"Zhao Geng, you are responsible for sending the food supplies to the grassland village for the front line. Are they all ready?"

When faced with the questioning, Minister of Agriculture Zhao Geng immediately stood up.

"Reporting to the king, everything is ready. Once the transport team is loaded, we can set off."

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his attention to Wang Dachui, the director of the forging department.

"What about weapons?"

"Reporting to the king, the newly forged 100 iron spears and 50 swords are already waiting to be loaded at the entrance of the village. At the same time, according to your wishes, our forging department will temporarily stop forging iron spears and start focusing on forging swords and shields."

"Very good. The living environment of the Lizardmen is mainly woodland, so it is difficult for long-handled weapons to be used. In the future, sword and shield equipment that can play a more effective role in complex combat environments will be the focus. This work must be done carefully and without any mistakes!"

After the court meeting, Zhou Xu had some free time for the time being, so he planned to make a trip to Tieshan Village.

Since the Lizardmen's territory is mainly covered by rainforest areas, mountain soldiers who can fight in similar environments will become their focus of training.

Based on this premise, Zhou Xu planned to go to the military camp over there to personally confirm the training situation of the new recruits.

At the same time, somewhere in the opposite world...

"What the hell, what happened these past two days? The Lizardmen have suddenly stepped up their patrols here. Have they discovered our presence?"

Joseph, who was hiding in the rainforest and out hunting, quietly observed the lizardman patrols passing by outside. He did not dare to act rashly for fear of exposing their position and attracting a large lizardman army to encircle and suppress them.

After the Lizardman patrol left, they quickly left the area, returned to their temporary Centaur camp, and reported the situation to Diak.

After hearing the report, Diak frowned at first, and then, as if he realized something, a strange look involuntarily appeared on his face.

"The Lizardmen, who were not patrolling here frequently, suddenly increased their patrols. Could it be that the Great Zhou army is attacking us? In order to prevent us from coming into contact, the Lizardmen were forced to increase their patrols here in order to prevent us from getting close to them easily?"

"Really? Really?!"

Diak's mumbling was interrupted by Joseph's obviously excited voice.

"If that's the case, shouldn't we quickly gather all the tribesmen to join us?! I'll go now!"

As he was about to turn around and run to tell all his tribesmen the good news, he was grabbed by Diak.

"You kid, just be quiet for now!"

Joseph, who was grabbed by Diak, looked puzzled, not knowing why the other party grabbed him.

Without waiting for the other party to ask, Diak gave the answer first.

"When the Great Zhou king asked me to come over to discuss the plan, he made some arrangements for this situation. If the Great Zhou army has already arrived, then we should do what we should do."

Having said that, Diak's eyes fell on Joseph.

"As for you, kid, just shut up."

“…”

On this side, the Centaurs, led by Diak, who survived the previous encirclement of the Lizardmen, launched a new operation.

On the other hand, on the Great Zhou side, Zhou Xu had undoubtedly arrived at Tieshan Village smoothly.

During this time, he had already inspected the training of the new recruits and the work situation at the Tieshan Mine, which is an important resource production point.

When it comes to training, Zhou Xu himself is not a professional, and at most he understands some basic ideas.

Shi Lei, who had accumulated experience in practice, added his own understanding of mountain warfare to the training ideas and made improvements.

In Zhou Xu's opinion, Shi Lei's ability in training mountain soldiers is now more reliable than his, so there is no need for him to continue to instruct the experts as an outsider.

And speaking of laymen advising experts...

"Where is that kid Wang Pengfei?"

Zhou Xu asked a team leader who was accompanying him.

Hearing this, the team leader looked around the village. After seeing a group of people gathered in the distance, the team leader immediately said in a positive tone...

"It must be there."

Listening to the team leader's tone, Zhou Xu became somewhat interested in Wang Pengfei's latest status here. After signaling to the people around him not to make a sound, he tiptoed forward.

After getting closer, the voice of Wang Pengfei was soon heard.

"Your job is simple, just..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wang Pengfei opened his mouth and started talking a lot. His words left many villagers stunned.

During this time, Zhou Xu also glanced at the other person through the gaps in the crowd.

After half a year of transformation in Tieshan Village, Wang Pengfei has really changed his appearance. You can't recognize him if you don't tell him.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he will become a handsome guy if he loses weight. That’s not true. Wang Pengfei just has an ordinary face that you can’t find if you throw him into a crowd.

But the whole spirit and energy gave people a completely different feeling. He was originally a somewhat gloomy guy, and the change in temperament was particularly obvious.

However, it is difficult to change one's nature, and this kid's bad habit of meddling in other people's affairs has not changed at all. In fact, after getting familiar with the situation here, he has been able to show his talents.

Look at him now, he is talking so much nonsense, as if he knows everything and knows everything.

Of course, he had only played halfway when the villagers who were watching began to disrupt his performance.

"The method you mentioned is useless. I went back and tried it many times, but it didn't work at all."

"There must be something wrong with your operation!"

Wang Pengfei responded instantly, almost as if it had become an instinct, with his message being 'I'm definitely not wrong, if I'm wrong it's your fault'. Although his practical ability was pitifully low, he had a mysterious kind of self-confidence.

However, there are obviously quite a few villagers in this village who have been deceived by his theoretical knowledge which is only on paper and no one knows whether it is true or false.

"Come on, just tell me, has anyone ever succeeded in using those methods?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present responded, but it was obvious that no one succeeded.

Wang Pengfei was undoubtedly embarrassed by the situation, but he still gritted his teeth and raised the banner.

"Our king is done! You know that cement? I taught him that!"

However, the villagers didn't buy it at all, because they had heard similar words many times.

"You just brag. The cement can be made because of our king's ability. Even if you really mentioned it, it was just nonsense. It's good enough that you didn't make things worse for the king. Otherwise, why don't you make it yourself according to the method you said?"

What the villagers said hit Wang Pengfei's sore spot directly, and the boy died on the spot.

Seeing Wang Pengfei's embarrassed look, there was a sudden feeling of joy among the crowd of villagers watching.
